Subject: Error on the Installation of Mandrake 8.2
The name is Mario. New to the discussion list
and new to Phoenix. I'm having a problem with
installing Mandrake 8.2 on my Laptop. I have a
ProStar 5190S. I have Mandrake 7.2 on it and it works
perfectly. The error that comes up during
installation is:

"Kernel Panic:VFS: Can't mount the device 01:03."

     I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I kinda
bypassed that problem by just going into Mandrake and
doing a live update, then I run in this error message:


"Can't open /var/lib/rpm/Packages."

     I check in that section of my tree, . . . didn't
have a Packages directory.  I also tried another way
with the rpm's, but those had signature errors.  So,
please, tell me if it's the CD or is it my system. 
Cause I have NO clue of what to do now.  Thanks.


-Mario
